Pass-fail option earns a P in SIU study
SIU Carbondale reviewed its pass-fail grading system begun in 1972 and recommends continuing it. The study found wide student approval and broader use needed, with instructors receiving post grade data to gauge who chooses pass-fail and which courses are offered. It noted mixed outcomes for pass-fail students, higher GPAs overall, and differing results by age gender and test scores. A follow-up Faculty Senate report with more recommendations is planned.
